Through the first two preseason games, Hornets rookie James Bouknight has already started to prove himself as a steal.
In his debut on Monday, Bouknight led the Hornets in scoring with 20 points in Charlotte’s 113-97 victory. On Thursday, despite the 30-point loss to the Grizzlies, Bouknight continued his efficient scoring off the bench, finishing with 17 points on 7-of-16 shooting.
But, one of his buckets on Thursday stood out from the rest. With under five minutes remaining in the game, Bouknight took it coast-to-coast, throwing down a monster slam over Grizzlies forward Shaq Buchanan.
Check out the poster slam below.
